What this site shows

This personal site walks through my analysis of Yahoo’s homepage and proposes a redesign built around focus, balance, and readability. It also documents design decisions so you can see how I think through user experience problems.

Problems I found

Heavy clutter around the edges and too many competing elements.
No clear direction for the user’s eyes or actions.
Bland color choices and limited visual hierarchy.
Unbalanced layout, inconsistent fonts, and box overload.

Goals for my redesign

Reduce visual noise and highlight the main story.
Use color and spacing intentionally, not randomly.
Give Yahoo a modern, focused look that still feels familiar.
Create a structure that scales well to different screen sizes.
